Sounds like a bunch of crap to me, that's just sad you were treated that way!! Rotor design change? Doubt it!!

Did you buy a "Stock" style kit? If so, I REALLY doubt they changed the rotor design!

Telling you that you need to buy a new kit to get new rotors? Really? Ahole Customer service all the way!

Send me a link to the kit you bought and I will see if I can identify the rotors for you, they are probably off-the-shelf local parts store pieces that will cost you $20-30 ea.

Many people learn these lessons the most costly way possible --- buy cheap crap trying to save some money - only to find out it's just that.... and then buy the CORRECT stuff -- and soon discover why it costs more and also discover they would have been happy as hell to just buy the good stuff in the first place.

There's an old saying about the savings being a short term "high" versus the LONG TERM happiness with quality. Can't remember exactly how it goes but you get the drift.

My grandpa had a saying (that he probably got from someone else, I'm sure)

"If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, how the hell are you going to find the time to fix it later?"

You can substitute money for time - -- same idea........

Hopefully you can get it worked, out. I'm not trying to pile on, but we've all been there and this type of lesson is a tough one to learn.....especially for frugal people.

I wouldn't call myself frugal. I was just trying to find a simple set up so i could putt my project around while i figure out my final suspension/brakes/wheels. Ill get it worked out. I always do.

I will PM you to get some details, if you can get new rotors and the right bolts at least you can craigslist or swapmeet the kit and get some cash back!
